Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

Good morning!

Saturday and Sunday brought much needed soaking rains ~ my tomato plants grew several inches!!! Lucy's kittens are doing well ~ four wee black, possibly chocolate, explorers.

Found a lot of good items for the store the other day so I am going to work on cleaning and pricing.

Have a MERRY week!!

Did one of your cats have babies?! How wonderful!!!! They must be so adorable! My boys would love them!!! They have been begging for a cat. I really want to get them a pet but it's not the right time with our house up for sale and our current place is too small.

Great that you got some good stuff for the store! Good luck.

Good morning all my Christmas loving friends !

Have not been here to much because I have been so busy getting ready for the upcoming conference in Niagara Falls on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Also starting to get a bit nervous having to speak in front of all those people. It will be fine, the nerves are more about not wanting to mess up than speaking as I have no problem getting up in front of everyone. Expecting around 2,000 people to be there. It will be nice to get away for a few days and be with friends and just have fun.
Hope you all have a fantastic week !!

Good evening,

Day #4 of 6 is down in the books, it should be smooth sailing the last two days now that the weekend is done. After the next 2 days, I get 5 in a row off, I was suppose to work on Friday but we finally got our electrician coming in after a month of trying to get him here, so I will be using a personal day for that.
I am heading to bed shortly, I am getting worn out from this run of days, and we have a road game tomorrow night for JP's baseball team.

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Goodnight, everyone

5 days off in a row sounds awesome!

Merry Monday


Vacation over but I have the kids for a second week before they go back to school next week. It is HOT HOT here reaching the 70s again today. Woke up with a headache. It might be the heat. Thunderstorms moving in later.

Hope you have a good start to your week.

Good Monday Morning MMC! Should be an interesting week this week. My brother is stopping in from San Diego Tuesday through Thursday. He is on his way to Europe but is stopping in for a couple of days since he hasn't been here since Christmas. Saturday was a busy day for me and Sunday I wound up meeting my friend for a walk in the rain. Wasn't a nice day Sunday but I felt better getting out than staying home all afternoon with the dreary weather. Anyway, other than that I just hope it's a good day today and a good week for all of you.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Morning all!! Still suffering from allergies thought they might ease up after the storms but guess its not meant to be.

Good morning everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Michelle and I had a good time at the Blueberry Festival Saturday. It was small but nice. This festival was out in the middle of nowhere (Near @Bradmac ) and we drove thru several small towns that we've heard of but have never been to just to get there. It was nice to stay off the interstate and see the country. Almost every small town had a Dollar General and a Subway. And half of those had a Dairy Queen.

Oh, and here is the question we got a lot at church yesterday:
Did you get any blueberries?
No, they're not in season yet. So this makes me wonder why they would have a blueberry festival in June? There must be something behind it, but I don't know what it is.

Have a blessed day!

Merry Monday Festive!
It will only reach 78F here today and we consider that a big cool down.
Weather is so relative.

Good Morning, Folks.
We have reached another Milestone Week.

Yes, on Wednesday ('Pines Day!) we will open the 200-day Christmas Day Window and commence our journey through a double-100's count.

The fact this falls on Wednesday is, of course, not lost on Carl and no doubt there will be some theme for this week's open house that will integrate the marker.
Stay tuned.

Days to the Season: 160
Days to Christmas Day: 202


A good soaking rain fell yesterday evening and we have commenced this new week damp here in central North Carolina at 73 degrees.


You have a Marvelously Merry Monday, Everyone.
And I hope and trust your week is off to a fine beginning!

** TRAVEL ALERT **

A short, final trip to check the cottage and tie up some loose ends will be undertaken by yours truly after my Wednesday morning post, so a volunteer will be needed for one day only, this Thursday, June 9th.

Anyone feel up to volunteering for a one-day quickie?

Looks like a lot of us had a rainy day. I was working so it did not bother me but boy was it busy at the store. Hope everyone will have a great evening.



How was your run? How often do you take part in such events? Hope you reached your goal.


95°?! Try to stay cool and enjoy the sunlight.

I ran a good race yesterday in the heat! It was probably by 15th race since 2012 when I started running. I'll be running the local half marathon in November this year which will be double the longest distance I've ever run! My husband runs half marathons and even ran the full marathon last year so he got me into it. I love it! Thanks for asking Martine!!

Good morning!

Good morning Solice! A happy day to you! (I suppose it's afternoon for you now though-so HAPPY AFTERNOON! )
